Sword Energy Reaches the Heavens

The old man lived on the edge of Lin'an County. Li Fan and Li Hongyi followed him for a long time.

Judging from the old man's pace, he probably went out to the City God Temple in the middle of the night to pray for his granddaughter.

The houses in the old alley were dilapidated, as if they might collapse at any time, and there were puddles everywhere on the road. In a narrow, dilapidated courtyard, an old man sat on the floor outside a door that was about to decay, saying, "Xiao He, I went to the City God Temple again today to pray for you."

"You haven't recovered yet, probably because the merits of the offerings are not enough. Grandpa has no ability, so he can only accumulate them little by little. When the merits are enough, you will definitely get better."

"Today, Grandpa also met two young people in the City God Temple. They were very polite and called me Grandpa. Although the girl had her face covered, her eyes were really beautiful. She was as spiritual as you, and her body was very healthy. It would be great if you could get better and be like her."

"There is a young man next to her, who must be her husband. He is so handsome. When you get better, Grandpa will find someone to match you up. Find such a handsome husband, okay."

As the old man said this, there was some longing in his eyes, and he smiled rarely.

This fantasy picture is really good.

The old man kept talking to himself, saying, "Xiao He, you must be hungry, grandpa will cook for you."

He got up with difficulty, walked to the side to pick up firewood, counted the rice grains and put them into the pot. After finally starting the fire, the old man was sweating profusely. He walked to the side, picked up the bark next to him, and actually started to chew it.

But because of his old age and bad teeth, he had to chew it bit by bit, chewing and swallowing it in his mouth with difficulty.

Li Hongyi couldn't bear it, so she raised her feet and walked inside. Li Fan pulled her arm. Li Hongyi glanced at him, and saw Li Fan walked in front of her, came to the outside of the yard, and shouted: "Grandpa."

The old man raised his head and calmed down to see that it was Li Fan and the other two. He supported his body and wanted to get up, but saw Li Fan took a step forward: "Grandpa, just sit down."

"Why are you here?" the old man said.

"I heard from you that your granddaughter has a strange disease. I have learned some medical skills, so I followed you to see if I can help. Don't mind, grandpa." Li Fan said.

"The place is small and there is no place to sit." The old man was a little restrained.

"It's okay, we will sit on the ground." Li Fan sat next to the old man, and Li Hongyi also sat down with him.

"This thing is not good for the body." Li Fan said to Li Hongyi next to him: "Madam, go buy some food."

Li Hongyi: "?"

You are addicted to acting, right?

"Okay..." Li Hongyi got up and walked out.

"How can this be good?" The old man said.

"Doctors are kind-hearted, grandpa doesn't have to mind." Li Fan said.

The old man's eyes were a little red, looking at the two beautiful people in front of him, he said: "It's great."

"But Xiaohe is shy and doesn't talk during the day. I'm afraid he won't come out."

"It's okay, I can wait." Li Fan already understood what was going on outside.

Xiaohe may know the truth about the City God Temple.

Not long after, Li Hongyi came back, carrying a lot of things in her hands, like a woman living a normal life, not like the red fairy in Lin'an County.

"Ah..." The old man just sighed and wiped his tears when he saw this scene.

"I feel guilty, old man." The old man said.

"Old man, you said that you got better after your granddaughter went to the City God Temple last time. Maybe you were going to get better anyway. Now that Xiao He has prayed to the City God many times, he still hasn't gotten better. Don't go there anymore?" Li Fan advised.

"Young man, there must be some hope in life." The old man understood this, but what else can he do besides this?

What else can he do besides this?

Li Fan understood that praying to gods and Buddhas is probably also to seek peace of mind and hope.

It's a pity that he prayed to the evil gods.

"It's so tiring to live." The old man sighed, "But for Xiao He, I have to hold on. If Xiao He really has something wrong, I will go with him."

Li Fan suddenly felt a sense of sadness.

Li Fan did not break the old man's fantasy, which was the old man's hope for life.

Li Fan and the old man chatted casually, the sky gradually darkened, and the temperature in Lin'an City seemed to be a little colder.

The old man waited until it was completely dark before knocking on Xiao He's door and said, "Xiao He, the young man I mentioned to you is here. He knows medical skills and will help you."

No one responded.

The old man called a few more times, but there was still no sound.

He was a little disappointed, looked at Li Fan, and said, "Xiao He is shy and may not want to come out."

"Grandpa, you go to rest first, I will wait a little longer. If Xiao He refuses to come out, we will leave." Li Fan said to the old man.

"Okay, the county has been very chaotic recently, you must be careful when you go back." The old man reminded.

Li Fan nodded, and the old man went to the firewood room to rest.

"Miss Xiao He, we have something to ask you." Li Fan walked to the door and whispered, but there was no response.

"About the City God Temple." Li Fan said again, but still no one responded, he walked back to his original position and sat down.

As the night deepened, the gloomy atmosphere in the dilapidated courtyard became heavier.

Li Fan and Li Hongyi had no intention of leaving for a long time, so they just sat there waiting.

A gust of cold wind blew, bringing a few strands of chill, and the dilapidated door made a creaking sound.

When Li Fan turned around, he saw a figure standing silently behind them, with disheveled hair covering most of her face. The half of her face that was exposed was pale, and her eyes were ferocious. It was actually a female ghost.

"Xiaohe?" Li Fan asked in a low voice.

The female ghost was stunned, pulled her hair to both sides, and completely exposed her pale and bloodless face, staring at Li Fan.

Li Fan also looked at her.

Female ghost: "..."

Why don't they run?

"Xiao He, is that you?" the old man's voice came. The female ghost looked panicked and said, "Grandpa, don't come out."

"Okay, grandpa won't come out. They are here to help. Xiaohe, please have a good chat with them." The old man said.

"good."

The female ghost responded obediently. She stared at Li Fan and Li Hongyi and pretended to be ferocious: "I don't need help."

"Miss Xiao He, we are cultivators." Li Fan responded. Xiao He was stunned for a moment, then knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Li Fan and said, "I have never harmed anyone, please be noble and let me go."

No wonder Li Fan is not afraid, maybe he is here to deal with her. If she is gone, grandpa will not be able to bear it.

"Miss Xiaohe, we are not here to hurt you, we just want to ask you something." Li Fan said, "Shall we go out to chat?"

"Okay." Xiao He nodded and straightened his long hair. He no longer had the ferocious look before, but looked a little weak, looking only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Li Fan was stunned for a moment when he saw that the other person was younger than him, and walked out silently.

The two took Xiao He to the roof next to him. Li Fan asked: "Miss Xiao He, we saw your grandfather kneeling down to worship the City God today at the City God's Temple. After asking about your situation, we found out about your situation. Is your death related to the City God?"

"Sir, I don't know anything." Xiao He was so frightened that he knelt down again, his body trembling slightly.

Li Fan still wanted to speak, but saw Li Hongyi stepping forward.

"Miss Xiao He, we are cultivators and have nothing to do with the City God, nor do we believe in ghosts and gods. Many women disappeared the day before yesterday. I suspected it was related to the City God, so I went to the City God Temple to check." Li Hongyi said softly: "Is that true? City God?"

Xiaohe's body trembled even more, and Li Hongyi said again: "Xiaohe, it would take a long time for grandpa to go back and forth from here to the City God's Temple, and his body can't stand the torment anymore. Do you want to continue to torture like this?" grandfather?"

Hearing that grandpa Xiaohe couldn't hold himself any longer, he knelt on the ground and said in pain: "I didn't want to, and I tried to persuade grandpa, but grandpa insisted on going. If grandpa knew the truth, he would definitely go to the Chenghuang Temple to ask for an explanation. It would harm me. Damn grandpa’s.”

"Grandpa's body is weak. He can't withstand the storm. I shouldn't continue to exist in this world, but I can't worry about grandpa getting old. If I leave, grandpa won't be able to survive..."

"Xiao He, tell me what happened?" Li Hongyi asked.

Xiao He looked up at Li Hongyi, still a little hesitant, but seeing Li Hongyi's sincere eyes, she finally said: "That day I went to the City God's Temple to pray for my grandpa. It was late, so I stayed in the temple to rest. That night, the City God Appeared in front of me, asked me about the situation at home, and then took me to the underground of the City God's Temple. There was actually a prison there. The City God, he, he..."

Xiao He recalled in pain: "That was the City God, a god. He actually imprisoned women to extract their Yin Qi. I was also imprisoned after being humiliated. I was so filled with grief and anger that I died in prison. I somehow became a ghost." , fled back to grandpa, I just want to be with grandpa one last time."

Li Fan and Li Hongyi were silent after hearing this. It must be that the resentment and yin energy were so strong that Xiao He turned into a ghost.

"Let's go." Li Hongyi suddenly turned around and said.

"Where to go?" Li Fan asked.

"City God's Temple." Li Hongyi said.

"There's no rush." ​​Li Fan looked at Xiao He and said, "Miss Xiao He, you can go to Fulong Villa to find Sister Xiu and Mr. Liu. Just say that Li Fan asked you to go. Maybe they can help you."

"Okay." Xiao He didn't know whether he heard it or not, and said to Li Fan, "Sir, can you not reveal that it's me?"

"Don't worry." Li Fan nodded. After Xiaohe knelt down and thanked the two of them, he returned home and found the old man sitting outside. He smiled kindly when he saw her come back.

"Xiao He, you are back."

"Grandpa." Xiaohe nodded.

"Xiao He, come to grandpa."

"Grandpa, I'm cold."

"It's okay, Xiao He, come here." The old man waved. Xiao He hesitated and sat down one step away from the old man.

The old man looked at his granddaughter and kept looking at him, his eyes getting redder and redder. Xiao He asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

"Xiao He, tell grandpa, are you dead?" The old man's eyes were bloodshot.

"Grandpa..." Xiao He stood up in shock.

"Since you came back, it has been very cold at home. You refused to go out during the day and only came out at night." The old man said: "Those two young men, at first glance, they are not ordinary people. They are not afraid of the cold at all. They go out at night freely. Maybe it’s an immortal flying around.”

"Grandpa is not stupid, it's just that he doesn't want to think about it." The old man cried bitterly: "Xiao He, grandpa failed to take good care of you. I feel sorry for you and your parents."

"Grandpa." Xiao He knelt beside his grandfather and cried.

"Xiao He, let grandpa hug you." The old man stretched out his hand tremblingly. Xiao He knelt and walked to the old man. The old man hugged her gently and passed his hand through Xiao He.

The old man smiled, holding her hands in the air, closing his eyes and saying, "Xiao He, don't be my granddaughter in the next life. You must remember to choose a good family."

"Grandpa, Xiaohe will be your granddaughter in the next life." Xiaohe cried.

When she raised her head, she saw that her grandfather's eyes had been closed and he was lifeless, but he still held her.

"Grandpa, let's go together." Xiaohe rested her head in the old man's arms, and her body gradually dissipated.

In the small courtyard, two shadows appeared, an old man and a young man holding hands, and gradually disappeared between the sky and the earth.
